friday things.

Did any of you have ANY IDEA AT ALL that Sir Davos from Game of Thrones is the same person as Captain Crewe in the heart-achingly beautiful, will-make-you-cry-your-eyes-out film A Little Princess?! Because I didn’t and I actually screamed aloud when I found out.

On that note (and also from my beloved NPR), FEMINIST COMIC BOOK AHOY! I recommend listening to the story for a super smart discussion about women in the comics industry as well as women who read comics.

The Fiancé and I watched A Long Way Down on Netflix recently and found it absurdly charming.

Also at The Toast (and from, like back in September, oops) is Nicole Cliffe’s Ode to Leslie Odom Jr and Hamilton, which I’m just devoting my life to at this point. Listening to the cast recording gives me intense New York feels and panders to the American history degree holding side of myself. Because I don’t live in NYC anymore and can’t rush the show every damn day, I’ve watched the CBS Sunday Morning piece about it, like, twenty times. No kidding.

I have always liked raccoons (they are sneaky thieves who are attracted to the shiny!) and am officially obsessed with Pumpkin the Raccoon who lives in the Bahamas with her people and her dog.

YOU CAN BUY NEW ENGLAND AUTUMN LEAVES FOR $20. I actually clicked through to see how much it would be to ship to Singapore before Fiancé said, “You are not spending $20 on three leaves” to which I gave him wicked side-eye and then said, “UGH, FINE”.
